When you think of a narcissistic personality, it's likely you think of a loud, grandiose, and "look at me" type of character. A lot of people don't realize that there is a much stealthier, more introverted form of narcissism, and therefore covert narcissists can often get away with their toxic behavior without being found out.
I was in a relationship with a covert narcissist. I know the frustration, disappointment, anger, and humiliation a covert narc can make you feel. I understand the helplessness you feel when you're in a relationship that has such an invisible toxicity that you think no one would believe you if you told them about it.
